“I was very pleased on our performance by halftime, and how we carried over to the second half,” Rio coach Callum Morris said. “It’s tough keeping up that mentality but our girls did a good job fighting through.”

Pikeville’s only goal of the contest came from Kayla Scott, assisted by Kaitlyn Abdon at the 69:18 mark.

The RedStorm travel to Cambellsville University on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.
